Five days from now may be more available.
Good point. Am on hold now...one ear with US and the other with Australia.  I bet I'm not the only one doing this!

Yay!! I managed to book EY A380 F x2!! It may mean an extra 2 stops and an airport change (JFK-LGA for now), but it'll be worth it.

And by "x2" do you mean two seats for one flight, or two flights???

Also mention EY is releasing lots of AUH-JFK space.


35-40 minute hold time with AA.
This would be awesome for me if only I would be able to find availability on the AMM-AUH leg

Nice.

Oh my gosh.
Not sure I really did it, but I think I just put two tickets on hold for me and my wife to fly in July:
BOM-AUH-JFK.

I have a 6-letter AA record locator and the 6-letter EY record locator. 

Now, I guess the question is how to get to BOM (and what to do there or on the way there!)

BTW, I held this reservation with the US AA number.

Hey, I booked it even though JFK-LAX isn't available now, so I booked LGA-CLT-LAX instead, hoping AA opens a flight JFK-LAX. Can you do something like that? Maybe AMM-DOH-AUH?

Boys and girls, this is not the thread for this.

Discussion can happen in AA Awards / What did you book/hold / etc threads.
